Definitions
- the present invention relates to finished and semi-finished, ophthalmic, multifocal and progressive lenses having a complex surface comprising a far vision zone, a near vision zone, an intermediate vision zone, and a main meridian of progression traversing these zones. three zones.
- Ophthalmic lenses that compensate for presbyopia are multifocal lenses, the most suitable being progressive multifocal lenses.
- Progressive multifocal ophthalmic lenses are now well known. Such lenses are used to compensate for presbyopia and allow the wearer to observe objects in a wide range of distances without having to remove his glasses.
- Progressive multifocal lenses typically include a far vision zone, located at the top of the lens, a near vision zone, located at the bottom of the lens, an intermediate zone connecting the near vision zone and the zone of vision. vision from afar, as well as a meridian crossing the three zones.
- Document FR-A-2699294 describes in its preamble the various elements of such a progressive multifocal ophthalmic lens, as well as the work carried out by the applicant to improve the comfort of the wearers of such lenses. Reference is made to this document for more details on these various points.
- A-5 272 495 to vary the meridian, and in particular the position at a near vision control point, depending on the addition and ametropia.
- the Applicant has further proposed, to better meet the visual needs of presbyopes and improve the comfort of progressive multifocal lenses, various improvements (US-A-5,270,745, US-A-5,488,442, FR-A-2,704,327) .
- progressive multifocal lenses comprise an aspherical surface (also called a complex surface), for example the surface opposite to the spectacle wearer, and a spherical or toric surface, called the prescription surface.
- Aspherical surface means a surface different from a part of a sphere.
- the spherical or toric surface makes it possible to adapt the lens to the ametropia of the wearer, so that a multifocal lens is generally defined only by its complex surface.
- the definition of the lens is limited in such a case in search of an optimized surface for the complex surface.
- such a complex surface is generally defined by the altitude of all its points.
- each lens of a family being characterized by an optical addition, which corresponds to the power variation between the far vision zone and the near vision zone.
- the optical addition denoted Add opt
- the AddsuRF surface addition can be expressed as the average sphere variation between the L point of the far vision zone and the P point of the near vision zone.
- the surface or optical addition then generally corresponds to the addition prescribed in the usual case where the lens comprises a complex surface and a spherical or toric surface.
- the addition varies from one lens to another in the family between a minimum addition value and a maximum addition value.
- the minimum and maximum values of addition are 0.75 diopters and 3.5 diopters respectively, and the addition varies from 0.25 diopters in 0.25 diopters from one lens to another in the family.
- lenses of the same addition may usually differ as a function of ametropia, at a reference point by the value of the average sphere, measured on the face opposite to the eye. For example, it is possible to measure the base at the reference point L for far vision.
- a couple for progressive multifocal lenses, one thus defines by the choice of a couple (addition, base) a set or set of complex faces. Usually, it is thus possible to define 5 basic values and 12 addition values, ie sixty complex faces.
- a lens commonly called “semi-finished” can be made whose addition is provided by the complex surface by the variation of curvature between the far vision zone and the near vision zone. .
- Such a lens has enough material that the manufacturer can cut the face opposite to the complex surface that provides the desired prescription lens.
- the ophthalmic prescription may include, in addition to the prescription of power, a prescription for astigmatism.
- a prescription for astigmatism is formed of an axis value (in degrees) and an amplitude value (in diopters).
- the amplitude value represents the difference between the minimum and maximum powers in a given direction that allow to correct the visual defect of a carrier.
- the axis represents the orientation of one of the two powers with respect to a reference axis and in an agreed direction of rotation.
- the TABO convention is used. In this convention, the reference axis is horizontal and the direction of rotation is the direct trigonometric direction for each eye, when looking at the wearer.
- An axis value of + 45 ° therefore represents an obliquely oriented axis which, when looking at the wearer, extends from the quadrant at the top right to the quadrant at the bottom left.
- Such prescription of astigmatism is measured on the wearer looking in far vision.
- the term astigmatism is used to designate the torque (amplitude, angle); Although it is an abuse of language, it is sometimes used to describe the amplitude of astigmatism. The context allows the skilled person to understand what meaning is meant.
- the prescription power and astigmatism of a carrier are usually designated and noted under the terms of sphere, cylinder and axis.
- Ophthalmic lenses correcting the astigmatism prescription of a wearer may consist of sphero-cylindrical surfaces.
- Multifocal ophthalmic lenses whatever the type to which they belong, inevitably present optical aberrations (resulting astigmatism, lack of power, prismatic deviations ...) which imply a more or less long adaptation and affect the comfort of vision, in vision static as in dynamic vision.
- dynamic vision is understood to mean the vision of objects moving in the field of vision, by own movement or by displacement of the wearer of the lenses.
- peripheral vision it would be interesting to reduce defects in peripheral vision.
- the existing progressive lenses allow a largely satisfactory vision when the wearer fixes an object which is located straight ahead, at any distance.

- FIGS. 1 to 3 schematic representations of an optical system eye and lens
- Figures 4 to 6 characterizations in terms of surface of an example of a lens
- FIGS. 7 to 9 characterizations in surface terms of an example of a lens
- Figures 10 to 12 characterizations in terms of surface of an example of a lens
- Such a lens provides improved peripheral vision. This results in increased comfort for the wearer.
- an average sphere SPH can be defined by the following formula: ## EQU1 ##
- R 1 and P 2 are the maximum and minimum radii of curvature expressed in meters, and n is the index of the material constituting the lens.
- a cylinder CYL can also be defined by the formula: n - l 1
- the characteristics of the complex face of the lens can be expressed using the medium sphere and the cylinder.
- a progressive multifocal lens can also be defined by optical characteristics taking into account the situation of the wearer of the lenses.
- FIG. 1 to 2 show diagrams of optical systems eye and lens, to illustrate the definitions used in the description. More specifically, FIG. a diagram of a perspective view of such a system illustrating the parameters a and ⁇ used to define a gaze direction.
- FIG. 2 is a view in a vertical plane parallel to an anteroposterior axis of the wearer's head and passing through the center of rotation of the eye in a case where the parameter ⁇ is equal to 0.
- the axis Q'F ' is the horizontal axis passing through the center of rotation of the eye and extending in front of the wearer - in other words the axis Q'F' corresponds at the primary direction of gaze.
- This axis intersects the complex surface of the lens at a point called a mounting cross, which is materialized on the lenses to allow positioning of the lenses by an optician.
- a sphere of vertices, of center Q ', and of radius q' which is tangent to the rear surface of the lens at a point on the horizontal axis.
- a value of the radius q 'of 25.5 mm corresponds to a current value and provides satisfactory results when wearing the lenses.
- a given direction of gaze - shown in solid lines in Figure 3 - corresponds to a position of the eye in rotation around Q 'and at a point J of the sphere of the vertices; the angle ⁇ is the angle formed between the axis Q'F 'and the projection of the line Q'J on the horizontal plane containing the axis Q'F'; this angle appears in the diagram of figure 1.
- the angle a is the angle formed between the axis Q'J and the projection of the line Q'J on the horizontal plane containing the axis Q'F this angle appears in the diagrams of FIGS. 1 and 2.
- a given direction of gaze therefore corresponds to a point J of the vertex sphere or to a pair ( ⁇ , ⁇ ). The lower the value of the angle of lowering of the gaze, the lower the gaze and the lower the value, the more the gaze is lifted.
- the image of a point of the object space, in a direction of gaze, and at a given object distance, is formed between two points S and T corresponding to minimum and maximum focal distances, which would be sagittal focal distances and tangential in the case of surfaces of revolution.
- the image of a point of the object space at infinity is formed at the point F '.
- the distance D is the focal length of the eye-lens system.
- An ergorama is called a function associating with each direction of the gaze the usual distance from the object point.
- the object point is infinite.
- the object distance is of the order of 30 to 50 cm.
- the ergorama can also be a function of the wearer's ametropia. Using these elements, we can define a power and an astigmatism, in each direction of the gaze. For a gaze direction ( ⁇ , ⁇ ), we consider an object point M at an object distance given by the ergorama. In the object space, we define, for the point M on the corresponding light beam, an object proximity ProxO as the inverse of the distance MJ between the point M and the point J of the sphere of the vertices:
- an optical power Pui as the sum of the nearness image and the proximity object.
- This definition corresponds to the astigmatism of the ray beam created by the lens.
- the angle of the astigmatism commonly called axis is the angle ⁇ .
- the angle ⁇ is measured in the frame ⁇ Q ', x m , y m , z m ⁇ linked to the eye. It corresponds to the angle with which the image S or T is formed as a function of the convention used with respect to the direction z m in the plane (Q ', z m , y m ).
- optical power and the astigmatism of the lens under the conditions of the wear, which can be calculated as explained in the publication B. Bourdoncle and others, "Ray tracing through progressive ophthalmic lenses", 1990 International Lens Design Conference, DT Moore ed., Proc. Soc. Photo. Opt. Instrum. Eng.
- standard wearing conditions means the position of the lens relative to the eye of an average wearer, defined in particular by a pantoscopic angle of -8 °, a lens-eye distance of 12 mm and a curve of 0 °. Other conditions could also be used.
- the port parameters can also be calculated using a ray tracing program for a given lens.
- Optical power and astigmatism may also be calculated in such a way that the prescription is reached at the reference point for distance vision or for a wearer wearing his spectacles under the conditions of wear or as measured by a fronto Forget.
- FIG. 3 represents a perspective view in a configuration where the parameters a and ⁇ are non-zero. It thus highlights the effect of the rotation of the eye by showing a fixed reference ⁇ x, y, z ⁇ and a reference ⁇ x m , y m , z m ⁇ linked to the eye.
- the reference ⁇ x, y, z ⁇ originates from the point Q '.
- the x axis is the Q'O axis and is oriented from the lens to the eye.
- the y axis is vertical and upward.
- the z axis is such that the reference ⁇ x, y, z ⁇ is orthonormal direct.
- the mark ⁇ x m , y m , z m ⁇ is linked to the eye and has the center Q '.
- the axis x m corresponds to the direction JQ 'of the gaze.
- the two marks ⁇ x, y, z ⁇ and ⁇ x m , y m , z m ⁇ coincide.
- the sizes in surface area are expressed in relation to points.
- the points are located using ordinates or abscissae in a coordinate system whose origin is usually the PR PRP reference point.
- the lens manufacturer is required to mark the prism reference point so that any optician can determine the prism values of the lens.
- the prism measured at this point is then the resultant of the prescribed prism and the prism used for machining.
- the prism reference point generally corresponds to the medium of micro-etchings made on the lens.
- the lens manufacturer is also required to mark such microgravures in this situation.
- the viewing directions are usually identified by their lowering and their azimuth in a frame whose origin is the center of rotation of the eye.
- the mounting cross When the lens is mounted in front of the eye, the mounting cross is placed in front of the pupil of the eye for a primary position of gaze.
- the primary position of the gaze means a wearer looking straight ahead.
- the mounting cross corresponds to a drop of 0 ° and an azimuth of 0 °.
- the direction of gaze passing through the mounting cross is located 8 ° above the direction passing through the prism reference point; or, in the case of a surface characterization of the lens, 4 mm above the geometric center (0,0) of the lens.
- the surface includes a far vision area having a reference point for far vision and a near vision area having a reference point for near vision.
- the surface also includes an AddsuRF surface addition defined as the average sphere difference between the reference point for near vision and the reference point for far vision, and an intermediate vision zone located between the far vision zone. and the near vision area.
- the surface has a main meridian of progression traversing the three zones and separating the surface into a temporal zone and a nasal zone. A portion of the meridian crossing the far vision zone defines a vertical axis.
- the lens further comprises a mounting cross C M and a prism reference point PR PRP .
- the prime reference point PR PRP defines with the vertical axis of the meridian and the axis connecting the micro-engravings a reference.
- the marker makes it possible to define each of the points of the lens by an abscissa relative to the horizontal axis and an ordinate relative to the vertical axis.
- the prism reference point has a null abscissa and ordinate.
- the lens may be a finished lens or a semi-finished lens.
- the lens fulfills a first surface condition called "surface condition 1".
- the lens has a progression length of less than 14.5 mm.
- the progression length is defined as the difference in ordinates between the ordinate of the mounting cross and the ordinate of the meridian point where the mean sphere variation relative to the value of the average sphere at the reference point for far vision reaches 85% of the surface addition. This improves the comfort of the wearer compared to a vertical eye-head strategy, the eye having less to move in the vertical direction to obtain the correction adapted to its near vision.
- Such an effect is further increased if the lens fulfills an "Ibis surface condition", i.e. if the lens has a progression length of less than 13.5 mm.
- the lens fulfills a first surface condition called "surface condition 2".
- the lens has a ratio difference, denoted Dsurfacique2, between the cylinder value and the AddsuRF surface addition of less than 0.2 in absolute value for any pair of points of the lens which are symmetrical with respect to the mounting cross C M and having the same ordinate as the mounting cross C M , the abscissa of each point being less than 20 millimeters in absolute value.
- Dsurfacique2 a ratio difference, denoted Dsurfacique2
- AddsuRF surface addition of less than 0.2 in absolute value for any pair of points of the lens which are symmetrical with respect to the mounting cross C M and having the same ordinate as the mounting cross C M , the abscissa of each point being less than 20 millimeters in absolute value.
- the lens fulfills a "surface condition 2a", that is, if the lens has a ratio difference between the cylinder value and the surface addition less than 0.1 in absolute value. for any pair of points of the lens symmetrical with respect to the mounting cross C M situated at the same ordinate as the mounting cross C M , the abscissa of each point being limited to 20 millimeters in absolute value.
- the lens also fills a combination of so-called surface conditions 3 and 4 which makes it possible to limit peripheral aberrations.
- a combination can be expressed in several ways, the surface filling such a combination being the same and having the same effect of improving the comfort of the wearer.
- the lens can thus fulfill so-called surface conditions 3A and 4A.
- a circle is then defined on the lens, grouping together all the points of the lens having the same abscissa and the same ordinate as points situated on a circle in the plane of the marker, of diameter 35 millimeters and centered on a point situated 8, 5 millimeters below the mounting cross and horizontally offset on the nasal side of 1.25 millimeters, as well as a disc grouping all the points of the lens having the same abscissa and the same ordinate as points located at the inside said circle.
